Problems

The card has problems with DVB-T tuning:

• With Kaffeine, it works until the user tries to switch the channel. After restarting Kaffeine, it continues with the newly selected channel.
• MythTV cannot scan DVB-T channels with this card at all. MythTV developers claim this is a driver bug.

Tuning manually with tzap works, as well as subsequent reading of /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0.
